Ancelotti has been a success with every club he’s worked at, winning league titles all over Europe and picking up three Champions League trophies – two with AC Milan and one with Real Madrid.

In terms of his experience in England, the 58-year-old won the Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season in charge at Stamford Bridge, and all while getting his side to play an attractive brand of attacking football.

That would surely make him a natural successor to Wenger right now, though he’d undoubtedly be working with an inferior squad in north London.

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are nearing the ends of their contracts and any manager would struggle to pick the team up and rebuild from there.
